I work for the government. I would prefer users do everything from Citrix
so if they lose the laptop, the information isn't comprimised. I know most
businesses aren't that nuts about things though.
The Voyagers were over a thousand if I remember right. More by the time we
mounted them to the med carts etc. I don't think the price on the maxbook
is too bad. it's a niche item in the thin client world. If you need it,
you were already willing to pay the price of a laptop
